Rad

Hi mark, I had the same problem not long ago with my 85 fourtrak. I found a good rad off a 95 model which I picked up quite cheap, But failed to realise that the newer rad is about 100mm taller than my 85. They are the same width and nearly fit. I managed to squeeze it in the bay but had to drill new lower mounts and remove the guard plate underneath. The plastic cowling does not fit either as the newer model rad sits closer to the engine. It would be so much easier to get the right rad, but when needs must, anything is possible. I'm not sure if a rad from another car would fit but if you have the time and patience it could be done.
Best wishes Mike

rad

hi gents
thank you allfor the help.now sorted.

Rad.

Take your old rad to a rad repairer such as motorrad [use telephone book for nearest repairer]. They will recore it and your rad will be as good as new. Cost about £100 but cheaper than a daihatsu replacement and better than a rotton old rad from a scrapper.
